new big announcement guys

its called Unearthed: trail of Ibn Battuta

its supposedly a third person action adventure game made by a middle eastern dev. I cant link to it atm, but I saw the news on Games Cabin, and N4G.

sounds like an uncharted clone.

This one?

The game is coming soon to PC/Mac/iOS/Android/PSN and XBLA.

Wouldn't call that a "big annoucement". It looks lika a shitty Uncharted Ripoff.
 
Man, Velocity Ultra really is awesome. You probably all think i'm biased but i wouldn't talk about a game so much if it didn't deserve it. Seriously.

18 zones in, trying to get perfect before moving onto the next one. Brilliant feeling when you nail it :)

They said that they have a Ps4 release in mind for later, but for now its just Ps3.
So no Vita version...
Why would they not mention a Vita version if they were working on it?
There is no Vita version, maybe there will be a Vita version, but now they're probably not even working on it.
It just gives me the impression that Sony doesn't care about the Vita and already gave up on it.
They finish up the projects they started in 2011 and early 2012 and thats it. No further support from Sony.

i wouldn't give up hope just because of that. polyphony can barely develop for one system at a time, let alone 3. there is no way they are working on a vita game if they won't even have a ps4 game ready for a year or two. gt psp took forever to come out, just like any gt, so i'm assuming the vita one will be the same. it can still come down the road when the ps4 version is coming out, since it will be a downport either way (if it's not its own title).

I've played a bit today, posted some screenshots earlier in here. How long do you think the game is just for the "story" considering that I'm bad at getting this "Perfects" fellow GAFfer?
 
Sooo time to transfer my stuff from the 16gb card to 32gb. I just plug it into my PC and use Content Manager to backup the files to the PC? Then I put in my 32gb and use backup to restore...? If I do that I get everything and saved games? Thanks!

I suppose it's hard to say really. Depends how good you are, like with anything :P There's a good amount of time in there though. I can't take a very good guess i'm afraid! Sorry :(

was sarcasm.... and im not a huge tech nazi, but thise animations on the character look like straight up dog feces. Goin to be Sonys main game to show off the Vita for E3.

"Sorry no more Uncharted for Vita, but we do have this ripoff that looks hot garbage. Please enjoy it!"

fake.


here are three reasons why you shouldn't believe it:
1. it's highly unlikely that bungie would be developing another game simulatenously.
2. sony trademarked destiny of spirits. if this is activision's game, they would have trademarked it themselves since they own the destiny franchise. this is ACTIVISION.
3. it's a picture of a computer monitor.

4. It was originally posted on 4chan.

Would be cool, but there's no way Activision would put any effort into Vita outside of maybe a yearly COD downport after COD Declassified...
 
I'm the only one looking forward for the already announced games instead of being unrealistically disappointed because game X is not on this platform?

It doesn't matter it has some good games coming, the only thing that matters is that X is not coming. WTF.

Yep. We need two threads, one for Vita games and one for non-Vita games. ;)

I'm pretty tired of people
nagging
about GT6 not getting on Vita. Sony made a smart decision. I don't see them making the same mistake as last year's E3 seeing as how everyone and their mother(me included) expressed disdain at them for talking about Wonderbook and not Vita.

The way I see it;

Vita WILL have some great games shown at E3 even if the PS4 is getting the main spotlight. Have some faith. If Vita is getting a GT it makes no sense to show the game at the GT event. Sony is trying to replicate what GT5 did, make them a lot of money. By having an event for a single game they are able to get the news out to everyone. If Sony has a GT:Vita they will most likely show it at E3. Why? To show that it has great games coming to it. Had they shown it already people would have complained at E3 that the game had already been shown and there's nothing else in the pipeline. Plus, lets not forget that Poliphony takes a good 5 years to make anything happen, chances are they were well underway with GT6 before they were pestered with the idea of making a game for the Vita.

Again, have some faith. The negativity here is starting to reek again.

I can't wait for FF X & X-2 in HD for the Vita I wish I can get both of them in Physical form (I'm in Europe)

I also can't wait for Rayman Origins next month os PS Plus, been playing some Velocity Ultra, just finished Nun Attack last week, every now and then I play some Wipeout and I still need to start VLR. I'm also curious to see more about Killzone but I will get that one too.

So far I'm happy with the Vita, if they can give me some Gran Turismo better yet, if not, PS3 it is! (But if they give me that. will get both versions).
 
Couldn't Sony work on just getting some of the already released titles localized?

Holy Sorcerer Story, Demon Gaze, the upcoming Mind=Zero, come to mind.
 
Velocity Ultra looks awesome and all, but I probably won't buy it. Always been a big Futurlab fan but I can't really justify spending $10 (the likely price) on something I already played essentially.

Killzone: Mercs is gonna be a solid game it looks like.

I'm not even interested in gt, but the total lack of the word vita was disappointing and has negativity as a logical consequence, no other reactions are possible.
Vita needs new announcements, and i believe that there will be, but the policy of sony is wrong,if someone has even an idea of a vita game it should be public immediately, even if it's only a name or logo, then at e3 show the game

If variable "X" is "Gran Turismo" then yes it is a big deal.

If you look at Wikipedia's list of highest selling games per system, apart from San Andreas and Monster Hunter, the top selling game on all Playstation systems has always been Gran Turismo.

Gran Turismo is a system seller. The Vita NEEDS IT BADLY.

I'll get back to you on that next year, when it's finally released in the states for $15. o_O

I'm hoping it's $8, for Plus at least, and I'll be there day 1. Whenever that is. :(

I really, really hope all this hype is the real deal. I just want Vita to get more love, get more games, get more people on board so it stays around for awhile. I love the system and its games.

Yeahhh, I'm really hoping Ultra comes out soon, but knowing how stupid Sony Q&A can be sometimes it might be six months.
 
Andrew Reiner should know about it.

We'll see. No E3 has been good for any Sony handheld except E3 2004 and E3 2009 with Peace Walker (and the RE logo).

Maybe its because I'm one of those guys who still think that the Vita can be more than just an indie machine... I didn't buy the Vita for indies, I bought it for games like Uncharted, GravityRush, SoulSacrifice, AssassinsCreed, NFS, Wipeout and those kinds of games.
But for the Vita stay relevant to a point where such big projects are justifiable it needs some more annoucements than what we already got.
Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty hyped for Killzone and Tearaway, but to get the Vita back on tracks it needs some huge annoucements.

Devs of Flying Hamster HD said "May", but I don't see any mention of it coming this month yet and it's halfway over...
It was released in EU back in March I think? Maybe earlier.
Then you look at Frobisher.

Yeah, we're boned.
 
Velocity Ultra looks good :/ too bad it's not out on US Plus yet :/
(and EU Plus gets all the really good stuff. gah :P)

the thread is moving rather fast

I can't speak highly enough of Jacob Jones... except... the stupid trophy for picking up all the soda cans -- I found 135 on my own, I'm at 149 with the help of someone at ps3t, but nobody seems to even know if 150 is the magic number. >_<

Man I hope he is saying that as someone that knows stuff (since he's a part of Game Informer) and not a case of "It's bound to have a big show after how long it's been since we've heard anything about it from Sony" lol.

Ha, I hadn't even thought of that possibility. Oh geeze.

Either way, this seems like too much murmurings for the Vita. I am actually starting to think there is something(s) cooking.

is backtracking allowed in this game? I missed some I think gah
 
Twitter is abuzz today with journalists writing about the closed-door events for the purposes of judging "Best of E3" titles. Maybe that's what Andrew is referring to, in which case it's not just idle speculation.

Why am I allowing myself to get excited?

HYPEEE

Sort of.

If you get to the point where your goal is to head back to camp and you have most of the puzzles solved, no. You'll always trigger the cutscene for the end of the episode. As long as you don't finish the final puzzles, you can go all over. It just gets hard to find them cause sometimes there's something in the way that wasn't there before. ;)
